Gu Chaoyan looked a little tired. When hearing the question, she gathered up her enegry and said, “They are fine, basically out of the worst danger. But they have been very badly injured so they need to stay here for therapy. For a while I believe.”
Hearing her words, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
As long as they were out of danger, nothing else mattered.
Gu Chaoyan looked very serious. She had always been very worried. She was not thinking about those injured people, whom she was sure she would be able to cure the moment she saw them.
She had been thinking about the things that hurt them.
Those injured people had already been rescued, but as long as those things were still there, other people would get injured and things would get worse.
That would not work at all.
“What were the things that hurt you, did you see them?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
As this question was raised they fell into careful contemplation.
Then they recounted as if they were searching for memories. “They look like human beings, ironmen even, they could not be beaten, nor did they get injured. But they could beat us, and we all got injured. They were so horrible! They came to our village before, but we never knew that they could hurt us! Many people died and only then did we become cautious about it. So we gathered together and expected to combine forces.”
Gu Chaoyan frowned even more deeply.
Judging from their description, she was more certain that those who hurt them were the metal people she saw back at Shadow Door the other day.
When she was treating those patients, she could tell that their wounds resembled that of Shen Tai’s. And it seemed that her guess had been right.
As Gu Chaoyan was thinking about these questions, someone added. “But Shanhu found out that these monsters could not reach heights. So as long as we went onto the roofs, we would be safe. Many people were saved because of what Shanhu discovered. Those from the government offices never showed up, so we dodged the attack in this way. However, Shanhu was busy protecting others, so he got badly injured.”
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes brightened.
If that was the case, then at least the other people managed to escape the attack, otherwise…
Gu Chaoyan just could not imagine the situation.
After all, even those imperial armies were humans, not ironmen.
After finding out the general situation, Gu Chaoyan asked Xiu Jie to take them to have a rest in the backyard of Xinlin Clinic. They could not just sit there the whole night.
Gu Chaoyan also went to her own room to rest. It was already getting late, so she could not go anywhere else.
They were just heading towards the backyard when they heard Qu Hua screaming loudly.
Xiu Jie threw an embarrassed look at Gu Chaoyan – he had been busy with a lot of things just now, but Qu Hua only caused trouble like a bi*ch. She could have been released after Elder Miss cured the badly-injured patients, but as he was listening to the villager’s the story, Xiu Jie was so obsessed with the story that he forgot about Qu Hua.
When Gu Chaoyan heard the voice, she said, “Just release her. The man is out of danger, so she should not cause any trouble now.”
Xiu Jie nodded and obeyed her order.
Qu Hua had just walked out when she snapped furiously at Gu Chaoyan. “You foxy lady, you are trying to seduce my Brother Shanhu!”
